Hour 13. Making Decisions in Visual C# CodeWhat You'll Learn in This Hour:
In Hour 10, "Creating and Calling Methods," you learned to separate code into multiple procedures so that they can be called in any order required. This goes a long way in organizing code, but you still need a way to selectively execute code procedures or groups of statements within a procedure. You can use decision-making techniques to accomplish this. Decision-making constructs are coding structures that enable you to execute or omit code based on a condition, such as the value of a variable. Visual C# includes two constructs that enable you to make any type of branching decision you can think of: if...else and switch. In this hour, you'll learn how to use the decision constructs provided by Visual C# to perform robust yet efficient decisions in Visual C# code. You'll probably create decision constructs in every application you build, so the faster you master these skills, the easier it will be to create robust applications. |
